Thread Name: Emailing: 302.1 Howard World's Great Operas 1st From: johnwolansky at verizon.net (John Wolansky) Date: Thu, 02 Feb 2017 16:59:40 -0500 Fellow collectors, While prepping a book to offer on eBay, I noted a difference in the jacket. In the jacket Scott has in his array, there is a light colored band at the top. The first I am looking at has no band, it is blue to the top of the jacket. I have another first and it also has no band at the top. I have two non-firsts and they both have the band at the top. One of the non-firsts refers to 388 titles like the first, but with Collette. I wonder if the non-banded jacket was only issued on the first ML edition and subsequent editions had no band. What do other collects have?

Will look when I get back from work. ------------------------------------- From: jpetersonlhi at frontier.com (jpetersonlhi at frontier.com) Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2017 00:35:39 +0000 (UTC) Hi John, I have a 302.1 that is from around 1967 (it lists Balzac, Lost Illusions in the list of Giants in the back), and has the Fujita torchbearer on the spine. The DJ is blank on the inverse, and doesn't have the lighter band on the top. Hope this helps.
